Any statements about future operating results, such as those concerning accretion and dilution to the Company’s earnings or shareholders, are for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts, and actual results may differ.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1.
BUSINESS
The condensed consolidated financial statements include CVB Financial Corp. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “CVB” and on a consolidated basis
 
as “we”, “our” or the “Company”)
and its wholly owned subsidiary: Citizens Business Bank (the “Bank” or “CBB”), after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances. The Company has one inactive subsidiary, Chino Valley Bancorp. The Company is also the common stockholder of CVB Statutory Trust III. CVB Statutory Trust III was created in January 2006 to issue trust preferred securities in order to raise capital for the Company. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, this trust does not meet the criteria for consolidation.
The Company’s primary operations are related to traditional banking activities. This includes the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of money through the operations of the Bank. The Bank also provides trust and investment-related services to customers through its CitizensTrust Division. The Bank’s customers consist primarily of small to
mid-sized
businesses and individuals located in the Inland Empire, Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Diego County, Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, and the Central Valley area of California. The Bank operates 57 banking centers, one loan production office in Modesto, California and three trust office locations. The Company is head quartered in the city of Ontario, California.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form
10-Q
and conform to practices within the banking industry and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC. A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows.
Reclassification
— Certain amounts in the prior periods’ unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation with no impact on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.
 
3.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except as discussed below, our accounting policies are described in Note 3 –
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC (“Form
10-K”).
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses. Other significant estimates, which may be subject to change, include fair value determinations and disclosures, impairment of investments, goodwill, loans, as well as valuation of deferred tax assets.

The adoption of CECL did not have a material impact on the accounting for investment securities, as approximately 94% of the total investment securities portfolio at March 31, 2021 represents securities issued by the U.S. government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, with the implied guarantee of payment of principal and interest. The remaining securities are predominately
AA-
or better general-obligation municipal bonds. The allowance for credit losses for
held-to-maturity
investment securities under the new CECL model was zero at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
We adopted ASU
2016-13
on January 1, 2020, on a prospective basis. Under this ASU, once it is determined that a credit loss has occurred, an allowance for credit losses is established on our AFS and HTM securities. Management determined that there were no credit losses for securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The following table presents the Company’s
available-for-sale
investment securities, by investment category, in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Table of Contents
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, investment securities having a carrying value of approximately $1.92 billion and $1.81 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, short and long-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at March 31, 2021, by contractual maturity, are shown in the table below. Although mortgage-backed and CMO/REMIC securities have weighted average remaining contractual maturities of approximately 19 years, expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay such obligations without penalty. Mortgage-backed and CMO/REMIC securities are included in maturity categories based upon estimated average lives which incorporate estimated prepayment speeds.

Credit Quality Indicators
We monitor credit quality by evaluating various risk attributes and utilize such information in our evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses. Internal credit risk ratings, within our loan risk rating system, are the credit quality indicators that we most closely monitor.
An important element of our approach to credit risk management is our loan risk rating system. The originating officer assigns each loan an initial risk rating, which is reviewed and confirmed or changed, as appropriate, by credit management. Approvals are made based upon the amount of inherent credit risk specific to the transaction and are reviewed for appropriateness by senior line and credit management personnel. Credits are monitored by line and credit management personnel for deterioration or improvement in a borrower’s financial condition, which would impact the ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Risk ratings are adjusted as necessary.
Loans are risk rated into the following categories: Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Each of these groups is assessed for the proper amount to be used in determining the adequacy of our allowance for losses. These categories can be described as follows:
Pass — These loans, including loans on the Bank’s internal watch list, range from minimal credit risk to lower than average, but still acceptable, credit risk. Watch list loans usually require more than normal management attention. Loans on the watch list may involve borrowers with adverse financial trends, higher debt/equity ratios, or weaker liquidity positions, but not to the degree of being considered a defined weakness or problem loan where risk of loss may be apparent.
Special Mention — Loans assigned to this category have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard — Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful — Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or the liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss — Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset with insignificant value even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Our allowance for credit losses is based upon lifetime loss rate models developed from an estimation framework that uses historical lifetime loss experiences to derive loss rates at a collective pool level. We measure the expected credit losses on a collective (pooled) basis for those loans that share similar risk characteristics. We have three collective loan pools: Commercial Real Estate, Commercial and Industrial, and Consumer. Our ACL amounts are largely driven by portfolio characteristics, including loss history and various risk attributes, and the economic outlook for certain macroeconomic variables. Risk attributes for commercial real estate loans include OLTV, origination year, loan seasoning, and macroeconomic variables that include GDP growth, commercial real estate price index and unemployment rate. Risk attributes for commercial and industrial loans include internal risk ratings, borrower industry sector, loan credit spreads and macroeconomic variables that include unemployment rate and BBB spread. The macroeconomic variables for Consumer include unemployment rate and GDP. The Commercial Real Estate methodology is applied over commercial real estate loans, a portion of construction loans, and a portion of SBA loans (excluding Payment Protection Program loans). The Commercial and Industrial methodology is applied over a substantial portion of the Company’s commercial and industrial loans, all dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, municipal lease receivables, as well as the remaining portion of SBA loans (excluding Payment Protection Program loans). The Consumer methodology is applied to SFR mortgage loans, consumer loans, as well as the remaining construction loans. In addition to determining the quantitative life of loan loss rate to be applied against the amortized cost basis of the portfolio segments, management reviews current conditions and forecasts to determine whether adjustments are needed to ensure that the life of loan loss rates reflect both the current state of the portfolio, and expectations for macroeconomic changes. Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance is reviewed on a regular basis and considers overall risks in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Refer to Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained herein for a more detailed discussion concerning the allowance for credit losses.
Our allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2021 decreased from the prior quarter end by $21.9 million, as a result of a $19.5 million recapture of provision for credit losses and net charge-offs of $2.4 million. The recapture of provision for credit losses was primarily due to the forecasted improvements in macroeconomic variables, with the greatest impact reflected in an $18.9 million decline in the ACL for Commercial Real Estate loans. During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $12.0 million, due to the initial forecast of a severe economic downturn from the
COVID-19
pandemic. The provision in the first quarter of 2020 was followed by an additional $11.5 million provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2020, as the forecasted economic impact from the pandemic increased in both severity and duration. Based on the magnitude of government economic stimulus and the wide availability of vaccines, our latest economic forecast reflects improvements in key macroeconomic variables, particularly the commercial real estate price index and the unemployment rate. Our economic forecast continues to be a blend of multiple forecasts produced by Moody’s, including Moody’s baseline forecast, as well as upside and downside forecasts. Our forecast at the end of the first quarter of 2021, assumes GDP will increase by 4.0% in 2021 and then grow by 3.2 % in 2022 and 2.8% in 2023. The forecast for the unemployment rate is 6.4% in 2021, 6.3% in 2022 and 5.5% in 2023. At March 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses of $71.8 million was 0.87% of total loans, compared to 1.12% and 1.11% at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.
Management believes that the ACL was appropriate at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As there is a high degree of uncertainty around the epidemiological assumptions and impact of government responses to the pandemic that impact our economic forecast, no assurance can be given that economic conditions that adversely affect the Company’s service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for credit losses in the future.

Past Due and Nonperforming Loans
We seek to manage asset quality and control credit risk through diversification of the loan portfolio and the application of policies designed to promote sound underwriting and loan monitoring practices. The Bank’s Credit Management Division is in charge of monitoring asset quality, establishing credit policies and procedures and enforcing the consistent application of these policies and procedures across the Bank. Reviews of nonperforming, past due loans and larger credits, designed to identify potential charges to the allowance for credit losses, are conducted on an ongoing basis. These reviews consider such factors as the financial strength of borrowers and any guarantors, the value of the applicable collateral, loan loss experience, estimated credit losses, growth in the loan portfolio, prevailing economic conditions and other factors. Refer to Note 3 –
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
, included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020, for additional discussion concerning the Bank’s policy for past due and nonperforming loans.

Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments
The allowance for
off-balance
sheet credit exposure relates to commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and undisbursed funds on lines of credit. The Company evaluates credit risk associated with the
off-balance
sheet loan commitments in the same manner as it evaluates credit risk associated with the loan and lease portfolio. There was no provision or recapture of provision for unfunded commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance in this reserve was  $9.0 million and was included in other liabilities.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)
Loans that are reported as TDRs are considered impaired and
charge-off
amounts are taken on an individual loan basis, as deemed appropriate. The majority of restructured loans are loans for which the terms of repayment have been renegotiated, resulting in a reduction in interest rate or deferral of principal. Refer to Note 3 –
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,
included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a more detailed discussion regarding TDRs.
As of March 31, 2021, there were $5.8 million of loans classified as a TDR, all of which were performing. TDRs on accrual status are comprised of loans that were accruing interest at the time of restructuring or have demonstrated repayment performance in compliance with the restructured terms for a sustained period and for which the Company anticipates full repayment of both principal and interest. At March 31, 2021, performing TDRs were comprised of three commercial and industrial loans of $4.5 million, five SFR mortgage loans of $1.0 million, and one commercial real estate loan of $294,000.
The majority of TDRs have no specific allowance allocated as any impairment amount is normally charged off at the time the loan is considered uncollectible. We have no
 
allocated allowance to TDRs as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The following table provides a summary of the activity related to TDRs for the periods presented.

EARNINGS PER SHARE RECONCILIATION
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing income allocated to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share considers the number of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options. Antidilutive common shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, shares deemed to be antidilutive, and thus excluded from the computation of earnings per common share, were 117,000 and 269,000, respectively.
The table below shows earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share, and reconciles the numerator and denominator of both earnings per common share calculations.

FAIR VALUE INFORMATION
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The valuation methodologies for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and
non-recurring
basis are described in Note 19 —

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a
Non-Recurring
Basis
We may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on a
non-recurring
basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or impairment write-downs of individual assets.
For assets measured at fair value on a
non-recurring
basis that were held on the balance sheet at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, the following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related assets that had losses during the period.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Bank is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations and utilizes interest rate swap agreements (“swaps”) as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. As of March 31, 2021, the Bank has entered into 148 interest-rate swap agreements with customers with a notional amount totaling $509.5 million. The Bank then entered into identical offsetting swaps with a counterparty. The swap agreements are not designated as hedging instruments. The purpose of entering into offsetting derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument is to provide the Bank a variable-rate loan receivable and to provide the customer the financial effects of a fixed-rate loan without creating significant volatility in the Bank’s earnings.
The structure of the swaps is as follows. The Bank enters into an interest rate swap with its customers in which the Bank pays the customer a variable rate and the customer pays the Bank a fixed rate, therefore allowing customers to convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans. At the same time, the Bank enters into a swap with the counterparty bank in which the Bank pays the counterparty a fixed rate and the counterparty in return pays the Bank a variable rate. The net effect of the transaction allows the Bank to receive interest on the loan from the customer at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a spread. The changes in the fair value of the swaps primarily offset each other and therefore should not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although the Company does incur credit and counterparty risk with respect to performance on the swap agreements by the Bank’s customer and counterparty, respectively. As a result of the Bank exceeding $10 billion in assets, federal regulations required the Bank, beginning in January 2019, to clear most interest rate swaps through a clearing house (“centrally cleared”). These instruments contain language outlining collateral pledging requirements for each counterparty, in which collateral must be posted if market value exceeds certain agreed upon threshold limits. Cash or securities are pledged as collateral. Our interest rate swap derivatives are subject to a master netting arrangement with our counterparties. None of our derivative assets and liabilities are offset in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
We believe our risk of loss associated with our counterparty borrowers related to interest rate swaps is mitigated as the loans with swaps are underwritten to take into account potential additional exposure, although there can be no assurances in this regard since the performance of our swaps is subject to market and counterparty risk.
Balance Sheet Classification of Derivative Financial Instruments
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total notional amount of the Company’s swaps was $509.5 million, and $503.8 million, respectively. The location of the asset and liability, and their respective fair values, are summarized in the tables below.

BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING
Assets and liabilities relating to certain financial instruments, including, derivatives and securities sold under repurchase agreements (“repurchase agreements”), may be eligible for offset in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as permitted under accounting guidance. As noted above, our interest rate swap derivatives are subject to master netting arrangements. Our interest rate swap derivatives require the Company to pledge investment securities as collateral based on certain risk thresholds. Investment securities that have been pledged by the Company to counterparties continue to be reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets unless the Company defaults. We offer a repurchase agreement product to our customers, which include master netting agreements that allow for the netting of collateral positions. This product, known as Citizens Sweep Manager, sells certain of our securities overnight to our customers under an agreement to repurchase them the next day. The repurchase agreements are not offset in the Company’s condensed consolidated balances.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of CVB Financial Corp. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “CVB” and on a consolidated basis as “we,” “our” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned bank subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (the “Bank” or “CBB”). This information is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our financial condition and the results of our operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report.
IMPACT OF
COVID-19
The spread of
COVID-19
has created a global public health crisis that has resulted in unprecedented volatility and disruption in financial markets and deterioration in economic activity and market conditions in the markets we serve. The pandemic has affected our customers and the communities we serve and depending on the duration of the crisis and government actions, the adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations could be significant. In response to the effects of the pandemic on the U.S. economy, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) has taken significant actions, including a reduction in the target range of the federal funds rate to 0.0% to 0.25% and an indeterminate amount of purchases of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law. It contain substantial tax and spending provisions intended to address the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic. The CARES Act includes the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), a $349 billion program designed to aid small- and
medium-sized
businesses through 100% Small Business Administration (“SBA”) guaranteed loans distributed through banks. These loans were intended to guarantee 24 weeks of payroll and other costs to help those businesses remain viable and keep their workers employed. Legislation passed on April 24, 2020 provided additional PPP funds of $310 billion. During 2020, we originated and funded approximately 4,100 loans, totaling $1.10 billion. In response to the
COVID-19
pandemic and the CARES Act, we also implemented a short-term loan modification program to provide temporary payment relief to certain of our borrowers who meet the program’s qualifications. There were six loans with approximately $10 million in outstanding loan amounts that remained on deferment, as of March 31, 2021. These deferments of principal or principal and interest, are for
90-
days or less. On January 13, 2021, the SBA reopened the PPP for Second Draw loans to small businesses and
non-profit
organizations that did receive a loan through the initial PPP phase. At least $25 billion has been set aside for Second Draw PPP (“round two”) loans to eligible borrowers with a maximum of 10 employees or for loans of $250,000 or less to eligible borrowers in low or moderate income neighborhoods. Generally speaking, businesses with more than 300 employees and/or less than a 25% reduction in gross receipts between comparable quarters in 2019 and 2020 are not eligible for Second Draw loans. Further, maximum loan amounts have been increased for accommodation and food service businesses. As of March 31, 2021, we have originated approximately 1,500 round two loans totaling $325 million in outstanding borrowings. The Paycheck Protection Program is expected to end on May 31, 2021.
The first quarter of 2021 includes a $19.5 million recapture of provision for credit losses, as the economic outlook has improved markedly due to widely available vaccines and government economic stimulus. In comparison, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2020, as well as $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2020, due to the initial forecasts of a severe economic downturn. We continue to monitor the impact of
COVID-19
closely. The extent to which the
COVID-19
pandemic will impact our operations and financial results during 2021 is highly uncertain, but we may experience continued volatility in the provision for credit losses if this pandemic results in economic stress greater than forecasted on our borrowers and loan portfolios and lower interest income if the current low interest rate environment continues.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and are essential to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following is a summary of the more judgmental and complex accounting estimates and principles. In each area, we have identified the variables we believe are most important in our estimation process. We utilize information available to us to make the necessary estimates to value the related assets and liabilities. Actual performance that differs from our estimates and future changes in the key variables and information could change future valuations and impact the results of operations.

2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update provide temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for transitioning away from reference rates such as LIBOR. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments primarily include relief related to contract modifications and hedging
relationships, as well as providing a
one-time
election for the sale or transfer of debt securities classified as
held-to-maturity.
This guidance is effective immediately and the amendments may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022.
    1st Quarter 2020 through the 4th Quarter 2022    The Company established a LIBOR Transition Task Force in 2020, which has inventoried our instruments that reflect exposure to LIBOR, created a framework to manage the transition and established a timeline for key decisions and actions to complete the transition from LIBOR in 2021. Although the Company is assessing the impacts of this transition and exploring alternatives to use in place of LIBOR for various financial instruments, primarily related to our variable-rate loans, our subordinated debentures, and interest rate swap derivatives that are indexed to LIBOR, we do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW
For the first quarter of 2021, we reported net earnings of $63.9 million, compared with $50.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and $38.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. Diluted earnings per share were $0.47 for the first quarter, compared to $0.37 for the prior quarter and $0.27 for the same period last year.
The first quarter of 2021 included a $19.5 million recapture of provision for credit losses, due to the improvement in our economic forecast of certain macroeconomic variables, which were impacted by
COVID-19.
In comparison, there was no provision for credit losses recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020, while the first quarter of 2020 included a $12.0 million provision for credit losses at the start of the pandemic. During the first quarter of 2021, we experienced credit charge-offs of $2.5 million and total recoveries of $88,000, resulting in net charge-offs of $2.4 million. Gross charge-offs during the first quarter include one commercial and industrial loan, previously rated substandard, that was
charged-off
in total for approximately $2.5 million. Of the 4,100 SBA PPP loans we originated in 2020, $582.8 million was outstanding at March 31, 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company originated, approximately 1,500 PPP loans in round two, with a loan balance, at amortized cost, of $314.9 million at March 31, 2021. Interest and fee income from PPP loans was $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $10.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.
At March 31, 2021, total assets of $14.84 billion increased $421.1 million, or 2.92%, from total assets of $14.42 billion at December 31, 2020. Interest-earning assets of $13.62 billion at March 31, 2021 increased $399.9 million, or 3.02%, when compared with $13.22 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $921.8 million increase in investment securities, partially offset by a $450.3 million decrease in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve, and a $55.8 million decrease in total loans.
Total investment securities were $3.90 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $921.8 million, or 30.96%, from $2.98 billion at December 31, 2020. In the first quarter of 2021, we purchased $1.23 billion of securities, with an average expected yield of approximately 1.57%. At March 31, 2021, investment securities
held-to-maturity
(“HTM”) totaled $1.09 billion. At March 31, 2021, investment securities
available-for-sale
(“AFS”) totaled $2.81 billion, inclusive of a net
pre-tax
unrealized gain of $14.4 million, which decreased $40.4 million from December 31, 2020. HTM securities increased by $508.4 million, or 87.86%, and AFS securities increased by $413.4 million, or 17.23%, from December 31, 2020. Our tax equivalent yield on investments was 1.65% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to 1.81% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 2.45% for the first quarter of 2020.
Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts (amortized cost), of $8.29 billion at March 31, 2021 decreased by $55.8 million, or 0.67%, from December 31, 2020. The $55.8 million decrease in total loans included decreases of $100.1 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans due to seasonal pay downs, $58.4 million in commercial and industrial loans, $15.1 million in SFR mortgage loans, and $7.3 million in other loans, partially offset by increases of $95.3 million in commercial real estate loans, $14.7 million in PPP loans, $11.2 million in construction loans, and $3.8 million in SBA loans. After adjusting for seasonality and PPP loans, our loans grew by $29.6 million, or 0.42%, from the end of the fourth quarter of 2020. Our yield on loans was 4.50% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to 4.56% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 4.95% for the first quarter of 2020. The significant decline in interest rates since the start of the pandemic has had a negative impact on loan yields, which after excluding discount accretion, nonaccrual interest income, and the impact from PPP loans, declined by 15 basis points and 44 basis points compared to the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2020, respectively. Interest income for yield adjustments related to discount accretion on acquired loans was $4.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $4.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2020.
Noninterest-bearing deposits were $7.58 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $122.5 million, or 1.64%, when compared to December 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, noninterest-bearing deposits were 62.74% of total deposits, compared to 63.52% at December 31, 2020. Our average cost of total deposits was 0.06% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to 0.09% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 0.19% for the first quarter of 2020.
Customer repurchase agreements totaled $506.3 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $439.4 million at December 31, 2020. Our average cost of total deposits including customer repurchase agreements was 0.06% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to 0.09% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 0.20% for the first quarter of 2020.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $5.0 million in short-term borrowings with 0% cost, compared to no borrowings at March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, we had $25.8 million of junior subordinated debentures, bearing interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.38% and mature in 2036, which was unchanged from December 31, 2020. We plan to redeem these debentures, which had a cost of 1.60% during the first quarter of 2021, by the end of the second quarter of 2021. Our average cost of funds was 0.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, 0.09% for the fourth quarter of 2020, and 0.21% for the first quarter of 2020.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $71.8 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $93.7 million at December 31, 2020. The allowance for credit losses for the first quarter of 2021 was decreased by $19.5 million due to the improved outlook in our forecast of certain macroeconomic variable that were influenced by the economic impact of the pandemic and government stimulus, and by $2.4 million in net charge-offs. At March 31, 2021, ACL as a percentage of total loans and leases outstanding was 0.87% or 0.97% when PPP loans are excluded. This compares to 1.12% at December 31, 2020, or 1.25% when PPP loans are excluded. As of March 31, 2021, total discounts on acquired loans were $26.9 million.
The Company’s total equity was $2.02 billion at March 31, 2021. This represented an increase of $12.7 million, or 0.63%, from total equity of $2.01 billion at December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to net earnings of $63.9 million, partially offset by a $28.4 million decrease in other comprehensive income resulting from the
tax-effected
impact of the decrease in market value of our
available-for-sale
investment securities portfolio and $24.5 million in cash dividends. Our tangible common equity ratio was 9.4% at March 31, 2021.
Our capital ratios under the revised capital framework referred to as Basel III remain well-above regulatory requirements. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio totaled 9.83%, our common equity Tier 1 ratio totaled 14.87%, our Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio totaled 15.15%, and our total risk-based capital ratio totaled 16.05%. We did not elect to phase in the impact of CECL on regulatory capital, as allowed under the interim final rule of the FDIC and other U.S. banking agencies. Refer to our

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity Reconciliation
(Non-GAAP)
The return on average tangible common equity is a
non-GAAP
disclosure. The Company uses certain
non-GAAP
financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. The following is a reconciliation of net income, adjusted for
tax-effected
amortization of intangibles, to net income computed in accordance with GAAP; a reconciliation of average tangible common equity to the Company’s average stockholders’ equity computed in accordance with GAAP; as well as a calculation of return on average tangible common equity.

Net Interest Income
The principal component of our earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments (interest-earning assets) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities). Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average interest-earning assets minus the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin and net interest spread are included on a tax equivalent (TE) basis by adjusting interest income utilizing the federal statutory tax rates of 21% in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Our net interest income, interest spread, and net interest margin are sensitive to general business and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, and the strength of the international, national and state economies, in general, and more specifically, the local economies in which we conduct business. Our ability to manage net interest income during changing interest rate environments will have a significant impact on our overall performance. We manage net interest income through affecting changes in the mix of interest-earning assets as well as the mix of interest-bearing liabilities, changes in the level of interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to interest-earning assets, and in the growth and maturity of earning assets. See Item 2 –
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Asset/Liability and Market Risk Management – Interest Rate Sensitivity Management

Table of Contents
The following table presents a comparison of interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in the volumes and rates on average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Changes in interest income or expense attributable to volume changes are calculated by multiplying the change in volume by the initial average interest rate. The change in interest income or expense attributable to changes in interest rates is calculated by multiplying the change in interest rate by the initial volume. The changes attributable to interest rate and volume changes are calculated by multiplying the change in rate times the change in volume.

First Quarter of 2021 Compared to the First Quarter of 2020
Net interest income, before provision for credit losses, of $103.5 million for the first quarter of 2021 increased $1.2 million, or 1.14%, compared to $102.3 million for the first quarter of 2020. Interest-earning assets increased on average by $3.17 billion, or 31.31%, from $10.12 billion for the first quarter of 2020 to $13.29 billion for the first quarter of 2021. Our net interest margin (TE) was 3.18% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 4.08% for the first quarter of 2020.
Interest income for the first quarter of 2021 was $105.5 million, which represented a $1.6 million, or 1.48%, decrease when compared to the same period of 2020. Average interest-earning assets increased to $13.29 billion and the average interest-earning asset yield was 3.24% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 4.27% for the first quarter of 2020. The 102 basis point decrease in the average interest-earning asset yield compared to the first quarter of 2020, was primarily due to a combination of a 45 basis point decrease in loan yields, a 76 basis point decrease in the
non-tax
equivalent investment yields, and a change in mix of average earning assets, with average balances at the Federal Reserve growing to 12.21% of earning assets for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 2.40% for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in balances at the Federal Reserve was impacted by $2.93 billion in average deposit growth compared to the first quarter of 2020. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2021 would have been approximately 35 basis points higher without the $1.38 billion year-over-year increase in average deposits at the Federal Reserve, earning 10 basis points.

Table of Contents
Interest income and fees on loans for the first quarter of 2021 of $91.8 million decreased $322,000, or 0.35%, when compared to the first quarter of 2020. Average loans increased $787.5 million for the first quarter of 2021 when compared with the same period of 2020, primarily due to $880.7 million in average PPP loans. The PPP loans we originated resulted in the recognition of approximately $8.2 million in fee income and $2.2 million in loan interest during the first quarter of 2021. Discount accretion on acquired loans decreased by $748,000 compared to the first quarter of 2020. The significant decline in interest rates since the start of the pandemic has had a negative impact on loan yields, which after excluding the impact from PPP loans, discount accretion and nonaccrual interest income, declined by 44 basis points from the first quarter of 2020.
Interest income from investment securities was $13.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, a $948,000, or 6.75%, decrease from $14.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. This decrease was primarily the result of a 76 basis point decline in the
non-tax
equivalent yield on investments as the decline in interest rates over the past four quarters decreased yields on investment securities due to higher levels of premium amortization, as well as lower yields on investments purchased during the past four quarters. Partially offsetting the decline from lower rates was a $977.2 million increase in average investment securities for the first quarter of 2021, compared to the same period of 2020.
Interest expense of $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, decreased $2.7 million, or 57.19%, compared to the first quarter of 2020. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 31 basis points, to 0.17% for the first quarter of 2021 from 0.48% for the first quarter of 2020. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $1.02 billion higher for the first quarter of 2021 when compared to the first quarter of 2020. On average, noninterest-bearing deposits were 62.02% of our total deposits for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 59.97% for the first quarter of 2020. In comparison to the first quarter of 2020, our overall cost of funds decreased by 14 basis points, partially due to growth in average noninterest-bearing deposits of $1.99 billion, compared to the increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $932.1 million. In addition, the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 30 basis points for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.    
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses is a charge to earnings to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level consistent with management’s assessment of expected lifetime losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.
The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $71.8 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $93.7 million at December 31, 2020 and $82.6 million as of March 31, 2020. For the first quarter of 2021, we recaptured $19.5 million in provision for credit losses, due to the improved outlook in our forecast of certain macroeconomic variables that were influenced by the economic impact of the pandemic and government stimulus. For the first quarter of 2021, we experienced credit charge-offs of $2.5 million and total recoveries of $88,000, resulting in net charge-offs of $2.4 million. This compares to a $12.0 million credit loss provision and net recoveries of $141,000 for the same period of 2020. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases outstanding, net of deferred fees and discount, as of March 31, 2021, was 0.87%, or 0.97% when PPP loans are excluded. This compares to 1.12% and 1.11%, as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, remaining discounts on acquired loans were $26.9 million. Refer to the discussion of “Allowance for Credit Losses” in Item 2 –
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
contained herein for discussion concerning observed changes in the credit quality of various components of our loan portfolio as well as changes and refinements to our methodology.
No assurance can be given that economic conditions which affect the Company’s service areas or other circumstances will or will not be reflected in future changes in the level of our allowance for credit losses and the resulting provision or recapture of provision for credit losses. The process to estimate the allowance for credit losses requires considerable judgment and our economic forecasts may continue to vary due to the uncertainty of the future impact of the pandemic on our business and customers. See “Allowance for Credit Losses” under
Analysis of Financial Condition
herein.

First Quarter of 2021 Compared to the First Quarter of 2020
The $2.0 million increase in noninterest income was primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in BOLI income and a $399,000 gain on the sale of one OREO property in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by a $791,000 decrease in service charges on deposit accounts. This decrease was primarily due to the offset of fees due to higher earnings credits generated by the significant increase in our customer’s noninterest-bearing deposits held at the Bank when compared to the first quarter of 2020.
The Bank enters into interest rate swap agreements with our customers to manage our interest rate risk and enters into identical offsetting swaps with a counterparty. The changes in the fair value of the swaps primarily offset each other resulting in swap fee income (refer to Note 8 –
Derivative Financial Instruments
of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of this report for additional information). The first quarter of 2021 included lower swap fee income of $158,000 compared to the first quarter of 2020, due to lower volume of swap transactions. The steepening of the yield curve has made it less attractive for our customers to enter into interest rates swaps that convert floating rate loans to fixed rate instruments, compared to a conventional fixed rate loan. We executed on swap agreements related to new loan originations with a notional amount totaling $15.4 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $23.3 million for the first quarter of 2020.
CitizensTrust consists of Wealth Management and Investment Services income. The Wealth Management group provides a variety of services, which include asset management, financial planning, estate planning, retirement planning, private and corporate trustee services, and probate services. Investment Services provides self-directed brokerage, 401(k) plans, mutual funds, insurance and other
non-insured
investment products. At March 31, 2021, CitizensTrust had approximately $3.10 billion in assets under management and administration, including $2.29 billion in assets under management. CitizensTrust generated fees of $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2020, due to the growth in assets under management and investment services.
The Bank’s investment in BOLI includes life insurance policies acquired through acquisitions and the purchase of life insurance by the Bank on a select group of employees. The Bank is the owner and beneficiary of these policies. BOLI is recorded as an asset at its cash surrender value. Increases in the cash value of these policies, as well as insurance proceeds received, are recorded in noninterest income and are not subject to income tax, as long as they are held for the life of the covered parties. Income from our BOLI policies for the first quarter of 2021 included $3.5 million in death benefits that exceeded cash surrender values of certain BOLI policies, compared to $715,000 in death benefits for the first quarter of 2020.

Noninterest expense divided by net interest income before provision for credit losses plus noninterest income.
Our ability to control noninterest expenses in relation to asset growth can be measured in terms of total noninterest expenses as a percentage of average assets. Noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets was 1.32% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 1.72% for the first quarter of 2020. The decline in this ratio for 2021 reflects the $3.13 billion growth in average assets that resulted primarily from $2.93 billion in average deposit growth.
Our ability to control noninterest expenses in relation to the level of total revenue (net interest income before provision for credit losses plus noninterest income) can be measured by the efficiency ratio and indicates the percentage of net revenue that is used to cover expenses. The efficiency ratio was 40.26% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 42.69% for the first quarter of 2020.
First Quarter of 2021 Compared to the First Quarter of 2020
Noninterest expense of $47.2 million for the first quarter of 2021 was $1.5 million, or 3.04%, lower than the first quarter of 2020. Salaries and employee benefits declined by $1.2 million from the first quarter of 2020, as deferred loan origination costs, which are a contra expense, increased by $1.0 million due primarily to the origination of more than 1,500 PPP loans in the first quarter of 2021. Additionally, marketing and promotion expense declined by $830,000, partly due to restrictions resulting from the pandemic. An increase of $911,000 in regulatory assessment expense in the first quarter of 2021, compared to the prior year quarter, resulted from the final application of assessment credits provided by the FDIC at the end of the second quarter of 2020.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 28.60%, compared to 28.75% for the same period of 2020. Our estimated annual effective tax rate varies depending upon the level of
tax-advantaged
income as well as available tax credits.
The Company’s effective tax rates are below the nominal combined Federal and State tax rate primarily as a result of
tax-advantaged
income from certain municipal security investments, municipal loans and leases and BOLI, as well as available tax credits for each period.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of $14.84 billion at March 31, 2021 increased $421.1 million, or 2.92%, from total assets of $14.42 billion at December 31, 2020. Interest-earning assets totaled $13.62 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $399.9 million, or 3.02%, when compared with $13.22 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $921.8 million increase in investment securities, partially offset by a $450.3 million decrease in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve, and a $55.8 million decrease in total loans. During the first quarter of 2021, we originated approximately 1,500 SBA PPP loans in round two, with a loan balance, at amortized cost, of $314.9 million at March 31, 2021. Of the 4,100 PPP loans we originated in 2020, $582.8 million remained outstanding at March 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, total loans declined by $70.5 million, or 0.94%, from December 31, 2020.
Total liabilities were $12.82 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $408.4 million, or 3.29%, from total liabilities of $12.41 billion at December 31, 2020. Total deposits grew by $342.2 million, or 2.92%. Total equity increased $12.7 million, or 0.63%, to $2.02 billion at March 31, 2021, compared to total equity of $2.01 billion at December 31, 2020. The $12.7 million increase in equity was primarily due to net earnings of $63.9 million during the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by a $28.4 million decrease in other comprehensive income from the
tax-effected
impact of the decrease in market value of
available-for-sale
securities and $24.5 million in cash dividends.
Investment Securities
The Company maintains a portfolio of investment securities to provide interest income and to serve as a source of liquidity for its ongoing operations. At March 31, 2021, total investment securities were $3.90 billion. This represented an increase of $921.8 million, or 30.96%, from total investment securities of $2.98 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in investment securities was primarily due to new securities purchased exceeding cash outflow from the portfolio in the first quarter of 2021. At March 31, 2021, investment securities HTM totaled $1.09 billion. At March 31, 2021, our AFS investment securities totaled $2.81 billion, inclusive of a
pre-tax
net unrealized gain of $14.4 million. The
after-tax
unrealized gain reported in AOCI on AFS investment securities was $10.1 million. The changes in the net unrealized holding gain resulted primarily from fluctuations in market interest rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, repayments/maturities of investment securities totaled $259.9 million and $128.2 million, respectively. The Company purchased additional investment securities totaling $1.23 billion and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The current quarter purchases included $682.9 million in AFS securities that were comprised of MBS with average lives of less than five years that are expected to yield approximately 1.37%. Additionally, we purchased $545.7 million dollars in HTM securities that were comprised of fixed rate agency and municipal bonds, with longer maturities that on average exceed ten years. On a
non-tax
equivalent basis, these securities will generate a yield of approximately 1.81%. There were no investment securities sold during the first three months of 2021 and 2020.

Real estate loans are loans secured by conforming trust deeds on real property, including property under construction, land development, commercial property and single-family and multi-family residences. Our real estate loans are comprised of industrial, office, retail, medical, single family residences, multi-family residences, and farmland. Consumer loans include installment loans to consumers as well as home equity loans, auto and equipment leases and other loans secured by junior liens on real property.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $200.5 million of total SBA 504 loans. SBA 504 loans include term loans to finance capital expenditures and for the purchase of commercial real estate. Initially the Bank provides two separate loans to the borrower representing a first and second lien on the collateral. The loan with the first lien is typically at a 50% advance to the acquisition costs and the second lien loan provides the financing for 40% of the acquisition costs with the borrower’s down payment of 10% of the acquisition costs. The Bank retains the first lien loan for its term and sells the second lien loan to the SBA subordinated debenture program. A majority of the Bank’s 504 loans are granted for the purpose of commercial real estate acquisition. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $107.2 million of total SBA 7(a) loans that include a guarantee of payment from the SBA (typically 75% of the loan amount, but up to 90% in certain cases) in the event of default. The SBA 7(a) loans include revolving lines of credit (SBA Express) and term loans of up to ten (10) years to finance long-term working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and/or for the purchase or refinance of commercial real estate.
As an active participant in the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program, we originated approximately 4,100 PPP loans totaling $1.10 billion, with a remaining outstanding balance of $582.8 million as of March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, we have originated approximately 1,500 PPP loans in round two with a loan balance, at amortized cost, of $314.9 million.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)
Total TDRs were $5.8 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, all of our TDRs were performing and accruing interest as restructured loans. Our performing TDRs were generally provided a modification of loan repayment terms in response to borrower financial difficulties. The performing restructured loans represent the only loans accruing interest at each respective reporting date. A performing restructured loan is categorized as such if we believe that it is reasonably assured of repayment and is performing in accordance with the modified terms.
The following table provides a summary of TDRs as of the dates presented.

As of June 30, 2020, nonperforming loans included $25,000 of commercial and industrial loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.
Nonperforming loans, defined as nonaccrual loans, nonperforming TDR loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were $13.8 million at March 31, 2021, or 0.17% of total loans. This compares to nonperforming loans of $14.3 million, or 0.17% of total loans, at December 31, 2020 and $6.4 million, or 0.09% of total loans, at March 31, 2020. The $578,000 quarter-over-quarter decrease in nonperforming loans was primarily due to decreases of $526,000 in nonperforming dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, $168,000 in commercial real estate loans, and $162,000 in nonperforming commercial and industrial loans. This was partially offset by a $145,000 increase in nonperforming consumer and other loans and a $139,000 increase in SBA loans.
At March 31, 2021, we had one OREO property with a carrying value of $1.6 million, compared to two OREO properties with a carrying value of $3.4 million at December 31, 2020 and four OREO properties with a carrying value of $4.9 million at March 31, 2020. We recognized a $399,000 gain on the sale of one OREO property in the first quarter of 2021. There were no additions to or sales of OREO properties for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Changes in economic and business conditions have had an impact on our market area and on our loan portfolio. We continually monitor these conditions in determining our estimates of needed reserves. However, we cannot predict the extent to which the deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate values, changes in general rates of interest and changes in the financial conditions or business of a borrower may adversely affect a specific borrower’s ability to pay or the value of our collateral.

Risk Management – Credit Risk Management
” contained in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended 
December 31, 2020.

Allowance for Credit Losses
We adopted CECL on January 1, 2020, which replaces the “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model over the life of the loan, as further described in Note 3—
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
of the notes contained in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020. The allowance for credit losses totaled $71.8 million as of March 31, 2021, compared to $93.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and $82.6 million as of March 31, 2020. Our allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2021 was 0.87%, or 0.97% of total loans when excluding the $897.7 million in PPP loans. The first quarter of 2021 included a $19.5 million recapture of provision for credit losses as a result of the improvement in our economic forecast. The Company previously recorded provision for credit losses totaling $23.5 million in 2020, due to the severe decline in economic forecasts associated with the pandemic. Net charge-offs were $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This compares to a $12.0 million credit loss provision and $141,000 in net recoveries for the same period of 2020.
The allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2021 is based upon lifetime loss rate models developed from an estimation framework that uses historical lifetime loss experiences to derive loss rates at a collective pool level. We measure the expected credit losses on a collective (pooled) basis for those loans that share similar risk characteristics. We have three collective loan pools: Commercial Real Estate, Commercial and Industrial, and Consumer. Our ACL amounts are largely driven by portfolio characteristics, including loss history and various risk attributes, and the economic outlook for certain macroeconomic variables. Risk attributes for commercial real estate loans include OLTV, origination year, loan seasoning, and macroeconomic variables that include GDP growth, commercial real estate price index and unemployment rate. Risk attributes for commercial and industrial loans include internal risk ratings, borrower industry sector, loan credit spreads and macroeconomic variables that include unemployment rate and BBB spread. The macroeconomic variables for Consumer include unemployment rate and GDP. The Commercial Real Estate methodology is applied over commercial real estate loans, a portion of construction loans, and a portion of SBA loans (excluding Payment Protection Program loans). The Commercial and Industrial methodology is applied over a substantial portion of the Company’s commercial and industrial loans, all dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, municipal lease receivables, as well as the remaining portion of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans (excluding Payment Protection Program loans). The Consumer methodology is applied to SFR mortgage loans, consumer loans, as well as the remaining construction loans. In addition to determining the quantitative life of loan loss rate to be applied against the portfolio segments, management reviews current conditions and forecasts to determine whether adjustments are needed to ensure that the life of loan loss rates reflect both the current state of the portfolio, and expectations for macroeconomic changes.
Based on the magnitude of government economic stimulus and the wide availability of vaccines, our latest economic forecast reflects improvements in key macroeconomic variables, particularly the commercial real estate price index and the unemployment rate. Our economic forecast continues to be a blend of multiple forecasts produced by Moody’s, including Moody’s baseline forecast, as well as upside and downside forecasts. Our forecast at the end of the first quarter of 2021, assumes GDP will increase by 4.0% in 2021 and then grow by 3.2% in 2022 and 2.8% in 2023. The forecast for the unemployment rate is 6.4% in 2021, 6.3% in 2022 and 5.5% in 2023. Management believes that the ACL was appropriate at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As there is a high degree of uncertainty around the epidemiological assumptions and impact of government responses to the pandemic that impact our economic forecast, no assurance can be given that economic conditions that adversely affect the Company’s service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in an increased allowance for credit losses in future periods.

The ACL/Total Loan Coverage Ratio as of March 31, 2021 decreased to 0.87%, compared to 1.11% as of March 31, 2020 due to the forecasted impact of improved economic conditions on future life of loan.
The Bank’s ACL methodology also produced an allowance of $9.0 million for our
off-balance
sheet credit exposures as of March 31, 2021, which was unchanged from the allowance at March 31, 2020.
While we believe that the allowance at March 31, 2021 was appropriate to absorb losses from known or inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations, conditions of our borrowers (including fraudulent activity), or natural disasters, which adversely affect our service areas or other circumstances or conditions, including those defined above, will not be reflected in increased provisions for credit losses in the future.
Deposits
The primary source of funds to support earning assets (loans and investments) is the generation of deposits.
Total deposits were $12.08 billion at March 31, 2021. This represented an increase of $342.2 million, or 2.92%, over total deposits of $11.74 billion at December 31, 2020. The composition of deposits is summarized as of the dates presented in the table below.

The amount of noninterest-bearing deposits in relation to total deposits is an integral element in our strategy of seeking to achieve a low cost of funds. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $7.58 billion at March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $122.5 million, or 1.64%, from noninterest-bearing deposits of $7.46 billion at December 31, 2020. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 62.74% of total deposits at March 31, 2021, compared to 63.52% of total deposits at December 31, 2020.
Savings deposits, which include savings, interest-bearing demand, and money market accounts, totaled $4.09 billion at March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $214.1 million, or 5.52%, from savings deposits of $3.88 billion at December 31, 2020.
Time deposits totaled $407.3 million at March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $5.6 million, or 1.40%, from total time deposits of $401.7 million for December 31, 2020.

Borrowings
We offer a repurchase agreement product to our customers. This product, known as Citizens Sweep Manager, sells our investment securities overnight to our customers under an agreement to repurchase them the next day at a price that reflects the market value of the use of funds by the Bank for the period concerned. These repurchase agreements are signed with customers who want to invest their excess deposits, above a
pre-determined
balance in a demand deposit account, in order to earn interest. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total funds borrowed under these agreements were $506.3 million and $439.4 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 0.09% and 0.10%, respectively.
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $5.0 million in short-term borrowings that were interest-free advances from the FHLB, compared to no borrowings at March 31, 2020.
At December 31, 2020, our junior subordinated debentures of $25.8 million represent the amounts that are due from the Company to CVB Statutory Trust III. The debentures have the same maturity as the Trust Preferred Securities. These debentures bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.38% and mature in 2036.
At March 31, 2021, $6.07 billion of loans and $1.92 billion of investment securities, at carrying value, were pledged to secure public deposits, short and long-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

Amounts exclude accrued interest.
Deposits represent noninterest-bearing, money market, savings, NOW, certificates of deposits, brokered and all other deposits held by the Bank.
Customer repurchase agreements represent excess amounts swept from customer demand deposit accounts, which mature the following business day and are collateralized by investment securities. These amounts are due to customers.
Junior subordinated debentures represent the amounts that are due from the Company to CVB Statutory Trust III. These debentures bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.38% and mature in 2036. We plan to redeem our $25.8 million junior subordinated debentures, which had a cost of 1.60% during the first quarter of 2021, by the end of the second quarter of this year.
Deferred compensation represents the amounts that are due to former employees based on salary continuation agreements as a result of acquisitions and amounts due to current and retired employees under our deferred compensation plans.
Operating leases represent the total minimum lease payments due under
non-cancelable
operating leases. Refer to Note 11 –
Leases

Total commitments to extend credit to agribusiness were $24.5 million at March 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2021, we had commitments to extend credit of approximately $1.84 billion, and obligations under letters of credit of $50.8 million. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, provided there is no violation of any material condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Commitments are generally variable rate, and many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. As such, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We use the same credit underwriting policies in granting or accepting such commitments or contingent obligations as we do for
on-balance
sheet instruments, which consist of evaluating customers’ creditworthiness individually. The Company recorded no provision or recapture of provision for unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company had a reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $9.0 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 included in other liabilities.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the financial performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing or purchase arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. When deemed necessary, we hold appropriate collateral supporting those commitments.
Capital Resources
Our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings and issuance of common stock in connection with periodic acquisitions. In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, we conduct an ongoing assessment of projected sources, needs and uses of capital in conjunction with projected increases in assets and the level of risk. As part of this ongoing assessment, the Board of Directors reviews the various components of our capital.
Total equity increased $12.7 million, or 0.63%, to $2.02 billion at March 31, 2021, compared to total equity of $2.01 billion at December 31, 2020. The $12.7 million increase in equity was primarily due to $63.9 million in net earnings and $1.7 million for various stock based compensation items. This was partially offset by a $28.4 million decrease in other comprehensive income resulting from the tax effected impact of the decrease in market value of our investment securities portfolio and $24.5 million in cash dividends declared. Our tangible common equity ratio was 9.37% at March 31, 2021.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Board of Directors of CVB declared quarterly cash dividends totaling $0.18 per share. Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors and there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will continue to pay dividends at the same rate, or at all, in the future. CVB’s ability to pay cash dividends to its shareholders is subject to restrictions under federal and California law, including restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve, and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to including covenants set forth in our junior subordinated debentures.

Table of Contents
On August 11, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase up to 10,000,000 shares of CVB common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at times and at prices considered appropriate by us, depending upon prevailing market conditions and other corporate and legal considerations. There is no expiration date for this repurchase program. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 4,944,290 shares of CVB common stock outstanding under this program. As of March 31, 2021, we have 4,585,145 shares of CVB common stock remaining that are eligible for repurchase under the common stock repurchase program.
The Bank and the Company are required to meet risk-based capital standards under the revised capital framework referred to as Basel III set by their respective regulatory authorities. The risk-based capital standards require the achievement of a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% and a common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio of 4.5%. In addition, the regulatory authorities require the highest rated institutions to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. To be considered “well-capitalized” for bank regulatory purposes, the Bank and the Company are required to have a CET1 capital ratio equal to or greater than 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 8.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10.0% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio equal to or greater than 5.0%. At March 31, 2021, the Bank and the Company exceeded the minimum risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios required to be considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes. For further information about capital requirements and our capital ratios, see “Item 1.
Business – Capital Adequacy Requirements
” as described in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020.
At March 31, 2021, the Bank and the Company exceeded the minimum risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios, under the revised capital framework referred to as Basel III, required to be considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes. We did not elect to phase in the impact of CECL on regulatory capital, as allowed under the interim final rule of the FDIC and other U.S. banking agencies.
The table below presents the Company’s and the Bank’s risk-based and leverage capital ratios for the periods presented.

ASSET/LIABILITY AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
Liquidity and Cash Flow
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that funds are available in a timely manner to meet our financial obligations when they come due without incurring unnecessary cost or risk, or causing a disruption to our normal operating activities. This includes the ability to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources, accommodating loan demand and growth, funding investments, repurchasing securities, paying creditors as necessary, and other operating or capital needs.
We regularly assess the amount and likelihood of projected funding requirements through a review of factors such as historical deposit volatility and funding patterns, present and forecasted market and economic conditions, individual customer funding needs, as well as current and planned business activities. Management has an Asset/Liability Committee that meets monthly. This committee analyzes the cash flows from loans, investments, deposits and borrowings. In addition, the Company has a Balance Sheet Management Committee of the Board of Directors that meets quarterly to review the Company’s balance sheet and liquidity position. This committee provides oversight to the balance sheet and liquidity management process and recommends policy guidelines for the approval of our Board of Directors, and courses of action to address our actual and projected liquidity needs.
Our primary sources and uses of funds for the Company are deposits and loans. Our deposit levels and cost of deposits may fluctuate from
period-to-period
due to a variety of factors, including the stability of our deposit base, prevailing interest rates, and market conditions. Total deposits of $12.08 billion at March 31, 2021 increased $342.2 million, or 2.92%, over total deposits of $11.74 billion at December 31, 2020. This deposit growth was primarily due to our customers maintaining greater liquidity.
In general, our liquidity is managed daily by controlling the level of liquid assets as well as the use of funds provided by the cash flow from the investment portfolio, loan demand and deposit fluctuations. Our definition of liquid assets includes cash and cash equivalents in excess of minimum levels needed to fulfill normal business operations, short-term investment securities, and other anticipated near term cash flows from investments. Our balance sheet has significant liquidity and our assets are funded almost entirely with core deposits. Furthermore, we have significant
off-balance
sheet sources of liquidity. To meet unexpected demands, lines of credit are maintained with correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve, although availability under these lines of credit are subject to certain conditions. The Bank has available lines of credit exceeding $4 billion, most of which is secured by pledged loans. The sale of investment securities can also serve as a contingent source of funds. We can obtain additional liquidity from deposit growth by offering competitive interest rates on deposits from both our local and national wholesale markets. At March 31, 2021, the Bank had $5.0 million in FHLB short-term borrowings at 0% cost that mature in May of 2021.
CVB is a holding company separate and apart from the Bank that must provide for its own liquidity and must service its own obligations. At March 31, 2021, we had $25.8 million in subordinated debt at an interest rate of three month LIBOR plus 1.38%. This subordinated debt is scheduled to be redeemed at par on June 15, 2021. Substantially all of CVB’s revenues are obtained from dividends declared and paid by the Bank to CVB. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to CVB. In addition, our regulators could limit the ability of the Bank or CVB to pay dividends or make other distributions.

At March 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.53 billion. This represented an increase of $819.6 million, or 116.13%, from $705.7 million at March 31, 2020.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Management
During periods of changing interest rates, the ability to
re-price
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can influence net interest income, the net interest margin, and consequently, our earnings. Interest rate risk is managed by attempting to control the spread between rates earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities within the constraints imposed by market competition in our service area. The primary goal of interest rate risk management is to control exposure to interest rate risk, within policy limits approved by the Board of Directors. These limits and guidelines reflect our risk appetite for interest rate risk over both short-term and long-term horizons. We measure these risks and their impact by identifying and quantifying exposures through the use of sophisticated simulation and valuation models, which, as described in additional detail below, are employed by management to understand net interest income (NII) at risk and economic value of equity (EVE) at risk. Net interest income at risk sensitivity captures asset and liability repricing mismatches and is considered a shorter term measure, while EVE sensitivity captures mismatches within the period end balance sheets through the financial instruments’ respective maturities or estimated durations and is considered a longer term measure.
One of the primary methods that we use to quantify and manage interest rate risk is simulation analysis, which we use to model NII from the Company’s balance sheet under various interest rate scenarios. We use simulation analysis to project rate sensitive income under many scenarios. The analyses may include rapid and gradual ramping of interest rates, rate shocks, basis risk analysis, and yield curve scenarios. Specific balance sheet management strategies are also analyzed to determine their impact on NII and EVE. Key assumptions in the simulation analysis relate to the behavior of interest rates and pricing spreads, the changes in product balances, and the behavior of loan and deposit clients in different rate environments. This analysis incorporates several assumptions, the most material of which relate to the
re-pricing
characteristics and balance fluctuations of deposits with indeterminate or
non-contractual
maturities, and prepayment of loans and securities.
Our interest rate risk policy measures the sensitivity of our net interest income over both a
one-year
and
two-year
cumulative time horizon.
The simulation model estimates the impact of changing interest rates on interest income from all interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on all interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is compared to policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a
one-year
horizon assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point upward and a 100 basis point downward shift in interest rates depending on the level of current market rates. The simulation model uses a parallel yield curve shift that ramps rates up or down on a pro rata basis over the
12-month
and
24-month
time horizon.

Percentage change from base scenario, but the current low interest rate environment limits the absolute decline in rates as the model does not assume rates go below zero.
Based on our current simulation models, we believe that the interest rate risk profile of the balance sheet is asset sensitive over both a
one-year
and a
two-year
horizon. The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent a forecast and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape,
re-pricing
characteristics and balance fluctuations of deposits with indeterminate or
non-contractual
maturities, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change. Our exposure in the rates down scenario is impacted by the current low interest rate environment and the model does not assume that rates go below zero.
We also perform valuation analysis, which incorporates all cash flows over the estimated remaining life of all material balance sheet and derivative positions. The valuation of the balance sheet, at a point in time, is defined as the discounted present value of all asset cash flows and derivative cash flows minus the discounted present value of all liability cash flows, the net of which is referred to as EVE. The sensitivity of EVE to changes in the level of interest rates is a measure of the longer-term
re-pricing
risk and options risk embedded in the balance sheet. EVE uses instantaneous changes in rates, as shown in the table below. Assumptions about the timing and variability of balance sheet cash flows are critical in the EVE analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving prepayments and the expected duration and pricing of the indeterminate deposit portfolios. EVE sensitivity is reported in both upward and downward rate shocks. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the EVE profile indicates a decline in net balance sheet value due to instantaneous downward changes in rates, compared to an increase resulting from an increase in rates.
Economic Value of Equity Sensitivity
 
Instantaneous Rate Change
   
    March 31, 2021    
       
    December 31, 2020    
100 bp decrease in interest rates
    -11.1%      -21.0%
100 bp increase in interest rates
    9.7%      16.1%
200 bp increase in interest rates
    18.6%      28.4%
300 bp increase in interest rates
    23.4%      34.4%
400 bp increase in interest rates
    29.8%      41.6%
As EVE measures the discounted present value of cash flows over the estimated lives of instruments, the change in EVE does not directly correlate to the degree that earnings would be impacted over a shorter time horizon (i.e., the current year). Further, EVE does not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in asset and liability mix, changes in yield curve relationships, and changing product spreads that could mitigate the adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
LIBOR is expected to be completely phased out by 2023, as such the Company is assessing the impacts of this transition and exploring alternatives to use in place of LIBOR for various financial instruments, primarily related to our variable-rate loans and interest rate swap derivatives that are indexed to LIBOR. For further quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks in our portfolio, see “
Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity Management
” included in Item 2 “
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
” presented elsewhere in this report. This analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our analysis of market risk and market-sensitive financial information contains forward-looking statements and is subject to the disclosure at the beginning of Part I regarding such forward-looking information.
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other senior management of the Company. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various lawsuits and threatened lawsuits in the ordinary and
non-ordinary
course of business. From time to time, such lawsuits and threatened lawsuits may include, but are not limited to, actions involving securities litigation, employment matters, wage-hour and labor law claims, consumer claims, regulatory compliance claims, data privacy claims, lender liability claims and negligence claims, some of which may be styled as “class action” or representative cases. Some of these lawsuits may be similar in nature to other lawsuits pending against the Company’s competitors.
For lawsuits where the Company has determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability representing the best estimate of the Company’s financial exposure based on known facts has been recorded in accordance with FASB guidance over loss contingencies (ASC 450). However, as a result of inherent uncertainties in judicial interpretation and application of a myriad of laws and regulations applicable to the Company’s business, and the unique, complex factual issues presented in any given lawsuit, the Company often cannot determine the probability of loss or estimate the amount of damages which a plaintiff might successfully prove if the Company were found to be liable. For lawsuits or threatened lawsuits where a claim has been asserted or the Company has determined that it is probable that a claim will be asserted, and there is a reasonable possibility that the outcome will be unfavorable, the Company will disclose the existence of the loss contingency, even if the Company is not able to make an estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss with respect to the action or potential action in question, unless the Company believes that the nature, potential magnitude or potential timing (if known) of the loss contingency is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company’s liquidity, consolidated financial position, and/or results of operations.
Our accruals and disclosures for loss contingencies are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. We disclose a loss contingency and/or the amount accrued if we believe it is reasonably likely to be material or if we believe such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. If we determine that an exposure to loss exists in excess of an amount previously accrued or disclosed, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, and we adjust our accruals and disclosures accordingly.
We do not presently believe that the ultimate resolution of any lawsuits currently pending against the Company will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The outcome of litigation and other legal and regulatory matters is inherently uncertain, however, and it is possible that one or more of the legal matters currently pending or threatened against the Company could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
Except as discussed below there have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A. to Part I of our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020. The materiality of any risks and uncertainties identified in our Forward Looking Statements contained in this report together with those previously disclosed in the Form
10-K
and any subsequent Form
10-Q
or those that are presently unforeseen could result in significant adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See Item 2. “
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
” in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
Risks relating to the
COVID-19
Pandemic
The
COVID-19
pandemic has significantly impacted the banking industry and our business. The ultimate impact on our business and financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.
The
COVID-19
pandemic has negatively impacted the global, U.S., California and local economies, disrupted supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and sharply increased unemployment levels. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in many states and communities, including in California and the principal counties and cities in which our banking centers are located. Our operations, like those of other financial institutions that operate in our markets, are significantly influenced by economic conditions in California, including the strength of the real estate market and business conditions in the industries to which we lend or from which we gather deposits. The
COVID-19
pandemic has resulted in a substantial decline in the revenues of many business sectors as well as in commercial and residential property sales and construction activities. As a result, the demand for our products and services has been, and may continue to be, significantly impacted.
Furthermore, the pandemic could further influence the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and further increase our allowance for credit losses, particularly as many businesses remain closed or partially open. Our customers could be expected to draw further on their lines of credit or to seek deferments of scheduled loan payments to help mitigate the effects of lost revenues. We implemented CECL, for determining our overall provision for credit losses, at the beginning of the first quarter of 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our allowance for credit losses increased by $23.5 million in provision for credit losses, primarily due to the forecasted impact of
COVID-19
on certain economic variables that may cause distress to our loan portfolios. During the first quarter of 2021, forecasted improvements in macroeconomic variables, because of the wide availability of vaccines and government economic stimulus, resulted in a $19.5 million recapture of provision for credit losses. In addition, through March 31, 2021 we have temporary payment deferments of interest or of principal and interest to customers for six loans, with a gross balance of $10 million, or 0.12% of our total loan portfolio at March 31, 2021. Depending on the scope and duration of the
COVID-19
pandemic, we believe there is a possibility that increased provisions for credit losses could prove necessary in the future.
Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting bond issuers, we may be required to recognize credit losses in future periods on the securities we hold as well as reductions in other comprehensive income. Our business operations may also be disrupted if significant or critical portions of our workforce or managers are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic. In response to the pandemic, and to comply with or follow various government recommendations or mandates, we have also suspended certain real property foreclosure actions and sales, and in certain instances, we are providing fee waivers, payment deferrals, and other expanded assistance for our business and mortgage customers. The extent to which the
COVID-19
pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the safety, effectiveness, distribution and acceptance of vaccines developed to mitigate the pandemic, and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
Our bank has elected to participate as a lender in the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), and has accordingly become subject to a number of significant risks applicable to lenders under the PPP.
As one set of responses to the
COVID-19
pandemic, our federal, state and local governments have promulgated a wide variety of laws, regulations, executive orders and programs designed to ameliorate the severe and widespread economic distress caused by the mandatory closings of many businesses throughout the State of California and counties in which we operate. One such program is the PPP enacted under the federal CARES Act. This program is designed, among other things, to provide employee payroll maintenance support for small and
medium-sized
businesses throughout the United States,
 
65
Table of Contents
including in the State of California, through loans made by authorized lenders and guaranteed by the federal Small Business Administration (SBA). Because the Company is an authorized SBA lender and our primary customer base consists of small and
medium-sized
businesses, the Company has actively participated in the PPP. Including the second round of funding, after legislation passed on April 24, 2020, we originated and funded approximately 4,100 PPP loans totaling approximately $1.10 billion, of which $582.8 million was outstanding at March 31, 2021. On January 13, 2021, the SBA reopened the PPP for Second Draw loans to small businesses and
non-profit
organizations that did receive a loan through the initial PPP phase. At least $25 billion has been set aside for Second Draw PPP loans to eligible borrowers with a maximum of 10 employees or for loans of $250,000 or less to eligible borrowers in low or moderate income neighborhoods. Generally speaking, businesses with more than 300 employees and/or less than a 25% reduction in gross receipts between comparable quarters in 2019 and 2020 are not eligible for Second Draw loans. Further, maximum loan amounts have been increased for accommodation and food service businesses. Recently, the Bank began accepting applications for the second round of PPP loans. As of March 31, 2021, we have originated approximately 1,500 round two loans totaling $325 million in customer borrowings.
Under interim final regulations promulgated by the SBA, PPP lenders are entitled to rely on borrower certifications with respect to issues such as program eligibility and eligible loan amounts, and PPP loans are designed to be subsequently forgivable, in whole or part, if certain additional criteria are met by the borrower with respect to employee payroll maintenance. However, in view of the fact that the PPP was by design intended to support economically distressed businesses, the SBA’s guarantee of PPP loan amounts to participating lenders is a critical feature of the program. There are significant risks to the Company’s participation in the PPP, including whether certain borrowers will ultimately be found to have been eligible for PPP loans, whether eligible PPP loan amounts for certain borrowers were correctly calculated, whether certain PPP loans will ultimately be determined to be forgivable, and if not, whether the SBA’s guarantee will continue to apply to any unforgiven PPP loan amounts. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 2,400 loans, representing nearly $544 million in loan balances, were submitted to the SBA and granted forgiveness. To date, our customers who have had their forgiveness requests reviewed by the SBA have received almost 100% loan forgiveness.
ITEM 2.   UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On August 11, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase up to 10,000,000 shares of CVB common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at times and at prices considered appropriate by us, depending upon prevailing market conditions and other corporate and legal considerations. There is no expiration date for this repurchase program. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares of CVB common stock outstanding under this program. As of March 31, 2021, we have 4,585,145 shares of CVB common stock available for repurchase under the common stock repurchase program.
